Announced in April, things are starting to take shape for the anime adaptation of the social mobile game of IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls. We’ve had some decent key visuals released over the summer season and now the news has come down that the show will premiere on January 9th, 2015 on Tokyo MX. With that announcement, a new slate of visuals from the first episode have also arrived, which you can see below.
The new series, which will be produced by A-1 Pictures, is set to debut in January 2015 based on the mobile game of the same name and will feature the return of Noriko Takao to direct the series. Composition will be done by Tatsuya Takahashi while Yuusuke Matsuo will be handling the character designs.
The series stars Ayaka Fukuhara as Rin Shibuya, Ayaka Ohashi as Uzuki Shimamura, Sayuri Hara as Mio Honda, Natsumi Takamori as Miku Maekawa, Nozomi Yamamoto as Rika Jōgasaki and Ruriko Aoki as Riina Tada.
